Instructions

2. Create a detailed scenario based on the provided decision and parameters.
3. Analyze the financial impact on the budget, including revenue changes, costs, and profitability.
4. Present both quantitative and qualitative outcomes, including potential risks and benefits.

• Flag any uncertainties in the analysis.
